A woman from Florida has been charged in connection to the death of Christina Ashten Gourkani, the Kim Kardashian-lookalike, and OnlyFans influencer. Reports say 50-year-old, Vivian Alexandra Gomez, injected silicone into Gourkani’s buttocks. The OnlyFans star later died of cardiac arrest at a hospital in California. Gomez was arrested merely hours after Gourkani’s death. She was located at the Fort Lauderdale Airport on April 20.
The 50-year-old woman was charged with
“involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license, both felonies,”
reports the New York Post. Reports added that she is being held without bail in Florida as she awaits to be transported to Burlingame, California where Gourkani received her treatment. Officials say the treatments were given to her in a hotel room.
Steve Wagstaffe, San Mateo County District Attorney, told the Daily Post that Gourkani hired the woman to enlarge her curves so she can look more like Kim Kardashian. Gourkani was given multiple injections to enlarge her buttocks, according to the DA. Investigators are still waiting for verification from a toxicology report; however, the injections seem to have been silicone, the DA told the outlet.
Dr. Michael Obeng, a Board-certified plastic surgeon, informed PEOPLE,
“Most of these illegal injections are made with silicone and silicone or any foreign substance can migrate within the body, which can lead to infection and hardness over time, deforming parts of the body.”
“And as with any injection, it can go into your bloodstream … And if it gets in the bloodstream, it can block the blood vessels and cause necrosis,”
Obeng added as he referred to the demise of vital cells.
